LinkedIn opens up creator tool access to all members

Two years ago, professional networking app LinkedIn launched ‘creator mode’ so members could unlock access to more sharing tools, analytics, and set up their profile to show their audience what they post about, on LinkedIn.
Since then, more than 18 million people have turned on the setting, says LinkedIn, helping members take their content to the next level.

Creator Mode for All

With feedback from this community, LinkedIn has now decided to bring the best of creator mode to more of LinkedIn’s members. In the coming months, the creator tool access will be offered to all members, investing in the tools that work best, and removing the need to toggle creator mode on & off.

Members will still have access to the same tools and analytics, however, LinkedIn is removing the creator mode on/off switch in the Resources section of your profile.

Here is what you should expect to see in the coming months:

February 2024

Profile hashtags will be removed to simplify the introduction section of your profile.

March 2024

The creator mode on/off switch will be removed from the Resources section of your profile.

Your About section will move to the top of your profile so that people can easily grasp your professional story.

You will have the option to choose Follow or Connect as the main CTA on your profile— your CTA will remain Follow unless you update it.

Even with these changes, you will still have access to the tools and analytics you had with creator mode.
